    We fell in love with The Terratine on our first visit! We were given a gift certificate from our children. We’d never heard tell of the place so looked it up online. The menu looked good so we gave it a try. It was a rainy evening but from the moment we were greeted by the friendly door man we felt warmly cared for. Our coats and umbrella were checked for us. We had a few moments to check out the beautifully ornate old Inn’s decor which was a clutter free, open, clean and very welcoming entrance space. We went up a wide staircase to our dining room. Our table for two wasn’t one of those teeny tiny tables that you can barely find room to put your evening bag but rather very spacious with lots of room to move all your plates and glasses etc. around on with no problem. Our server Makayla was expertly engaging. She gave us plenty of space and time to make our decisions and only engaged with us when we encouraged it. I especially like that we weren’t initially greeted with the standard wine & drink menu given to us and an ask if we’d like to start with a beverage. It was so refreshing that we were allowed to come to our own decision if we wanted to ask for a pre dinner beverage. Each one of our courses were nicely portioned and delicious. None of the courses were rushed or delayed. The timing of everything was expertly executed. I really liked that we had a few minutes of pause between the courses. We didn’t feel rushed in any way. Our dining room had several other parties in it but it was roomy enough in there and that we weren’t distracted from our own conversation. We ended the evening with sharing a unique strawberry crème brûlée that was surprisingly outstanding. If we could give more than 5 stars-we would! Our over all experience at The Terratine was “Outstanding”. We definitely will be going back. Thanks for a terrific night out Terratine staff. We can’t wait to see you again~💞

    Drinks and dinner on a Saturday night, everyone was friendly and professional. The food was exceptional - scallop appetizer and chicken main. My husband had crab cakes and the fillet. All were perfect. Will go back soon.

    The Tarratine never disappoints. Amazing food, excellent service, and excellent beverage selections. It's our go-to for intimate celebrations and an occasional bespoke cocktail.

    We come here often and we choose to make your visits special. We dress for dinner though that isn't required. We have never had a meal that wasn't delicious. Even their decaf coffee is tasty. The staff is another plus. All of the people with whom we have been served from the valet that opens the door, to reception, and serving are knowledge, efficient, helpful, and enjoyable individuals. It is not just the delicious food for which we return it is the entire package.

    Absolutely fantastic in every way possible - the food, the experience, the service. One of the best meals we have ever had. I have celiac and they are very accommodating to gluten free diners, with many delicious options - and even gf bread! We will definitely be coming back, especially once its warmer so we can dine on the rooftop!
